Repsol Honda rider Marc Marquez once again proved his dominance, as he won his eighth straight race of the 2014 season on Saturday, June 28th in Netherlands. The 21-year old rider has equalled the eight win record of 1971 rider Giacomo Agostini with this victoryin spite of sliding off the track during the race. The unfortunate error occurred during early laps when Marquez lost the control of his bike due to wet conditions, but he swiftly recovered from it. Marc then picked the pace once again and bridged the gap between him and the leading rider Andrea Dovizioso of Ducati. Before he over took Dovizioso to lead all the riders when 11 laps were left in the race.
After that Marquez did not allow any rider including Dovizioso to come close to him, as he went on to win the raceby 6.74 seconds. This was indeed a remarkable effort by the Spaniard, as he won the Dutch Grand Prix in spite of making an error and starting second on the grid. That has once again proved why Moto GP fans praise him. On the other hand, when Ducat rider Dovizioso failed to catch up Marquez, he decided to settle for the second and managed to reach the podium for the second time during the season. Marquez’s teammate Dani Pedrosa crossed the chequered flag in third place.
Pedrosa gained the position after a tough and long battle with Aleix Espargaro of NGM Forward Racing team, who was not able to maintain the lead despite starting from pole position. Espargaro ended up securing the fourth place, while Movistar Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi finished the race in fifth place after his slick tyre gamble did not pay off.
Marquez admitted after the race that he was pretty nervous before going in to the race because he did not have much experience when it comes to riding in wet conditions. The Spaniard said that he switched to slicks after he started the race on the wet track, but it did not work as he was about to slid off in the next lap. Luckily, he came back and then pushed hard till he crossed the finish line, said Marquez.
Reflecting on the race, second positioned rider Dovizioso said that Marquez was extremely fast on dry track and during the mid of the race track was dry. Thus, he did not get any chance to follow Marquez once the Honda rider outstripped him and second place then seemed fine to him, said Andrea.
